I saw them warm up for Deep Purple as well, on Long Island, sometime in the early 70s. I was trying to figure out what year when google brought me here. Yes, it was a rather odd mix, but great show all around, from what I remember.

Great show in Charlotte, NC on Saturday night. LB is the man, he was as all these post advertised and one of the most energetic 60 year-olds I've ever seen. I do wonder why they canceled the Greensboro show, It had to be ticket sales or a pre-planned cancellation if they needed a break because they had the excuse of someone in the band having strep throat before the Saturday show which was great. I'm thinking about dishing out the bucks for Atlanta tomorrow night.

Great to hear it. Fleetwood Mac has always been one of my favorite sounds growing up with Rumours being one of my all time favorite albums of all time. Yeah, too bad CM isn't part of the band, still. Maybe someday she'll come back.

Yeah, the guy who wants to run for Governor of a major state is spending his time blogging on a rock concert. Brilliant strategy.

they are both treats- Australian Pink Floyd did 'The Wall' last time through and it was friggin' brilliant. The Musical Box has done 'Lamb' and 'Selling England' on separate tours, and you get the Gabriel stand-in doing 'Watcher of the Skies' wearing the costume he had donated to him… and tix are generally in the $30-40 buck range. Worth a little drive…

Thanks for the tip, dcase. I think I saw an ad for them in my local paper a while back, but I'll definitely be on the lookout for them now. That's really cool that Genesis donated stuff to them!

I'll have to make a mental note about the Austrailian Pink Floyd too. Sigh…so many bands, so little time!

I'm sorry, but it's just not Fleetwood Mac without Christine McVie. If you've heard the one called "Songbird", you'll understand why.

RUSH always provides an outstanding performance, even after 30+ years.

While I prefer early Fleetwood Mac, with Peter Green(Albatross, Black Magic Woman, Oh Well), and Danny Kirwan(Bare Trees, Future Games), I do enjoy Buckingham's guitar work. One of the odd things about his playing is that, unlike most rock guitarists, he doesn't use a pick. As a guitarist myself, I can tell you that's not easy to do on an electric.
